House Republicans cut green programs, boost fossil fuels in budget bill

  • House Republicans advanced a budget bill on May 13-14, 2025, proposing cuts to climate programs and boosting fossil fuel industry support in Washington, D.C.
  • The bill follows Republican priorities to extend 2017 tax cuts and reduce funding from the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act, despite Democratic opposition and proposed amendments.
  • Key provisions include repealing the Methane Emissions Reduction Program, delaying emissions charges, and allowing fossil fuel companies to pay fees for expedited permits.
  • Democrats criticized the bill as a 'pay to play scheme' enabling polluters to pay up to $10 million for pipeline permits while slashing clean energy funding.
  • The legislation risks increasing climate hazards by reducing adaptation science funding and accelerating fossil fuel use, potentially worsening wildfires, floods, and public health impacts.
